I would like to redo my shower tiling. Demolition and then tiling may take longer than a day for me. I only have one bathroom so I was wondering what milestones I should reach each day so I can still take a shower or use the bath tub?

    Budget in a hotel room for a few days. – Ecnerwal Mar 26 '14 at 00:16

    Or... if a hotel room doesn't fit the budget, a fitness center with showers works quite well. – Comintern Mar 26 '14 at 00:49

    It's going to take longer than you think, especially if you are alone. My shower was my first tiling project, so what I did was create a small temporary shower to practice making the shower pan and installing tile. It wasn't a bad idea. – Edwin Mar 26 '14 at 00:51

    Also keep in mind the fact that it will tend to be the least usable when you are most in need of a shower from working on it... – Comintern Mar 26 '14 at 01:39
  • Don't even think of trying to use the tub or shower during the rehab. It will end in disaster and ruin all your hard work. Find a place to bathe elsewhere for a few days. Old fashion way, galv tub in the middle of the kitchen floor!!! lolololol – shirlock homes Mar 26 '14 at 10:07
  • you'd better do not use it until the work is done, suggest you to take shower at your friend's home. – user43900 Apr 07 '14 at 06:54

I understand that you are just replacing the tile and leaving the bathtub. So, you should have no problem taking a bath in the tub at any time during the tiling. As far as a shower, you can be creative with some polyethylene plastic taped or draped around the three walls and take a shower too throughout the project.
